Shadcn File Manager Admin Dashboard

File Manager Admin Dashboard is a full-page dashboard block for browsing and managing files inside an admin panel. It uses Shadcn UI sidebar, table, and dropdown menu components in a responsive Tailwind layout, with a recent files row, an all-files table with per-row actions, and a storage panel that visualizes usage with a Recharts chart. The block is available in React, Vuejs, and Svelte versions.

A File Manager Screen for Admin Panels

This block is a complete file manager dashboard: a sidebar shell, a Recently Modified card strip, an All Files area with switchable views, and a storage panel with a radial usage meter. It is built entirely from Shadcn UI components and Tailwind utilities, arranged as a two-column layout that stacks on smaller screens and pins the storage panel to the right on xl viewports.

Use it wherever users own documents: DAM tools, client portals, cloud drive products, or the media section of a CMS. If file browsing is your core feature rather than one admin page, the dedicated file managers category collects sibling blocks that pair well with this one.

List and Grid Views Powered by Item and ButtonGroup

The All Files section keeps its view mode in a useState hook and toggles between a Table layout and a card grid built from the Item, ItemMedia, ItemTitle, and ItemActions primitives. A ButtonGroup with list and grid icons drives the switch, and a Tooltip explains each control.

Every file row carries a DropdownMenu with download, rename, copy link, and delete actions, plus type icons from Tabler mapped per file kind: documents, images, video, audio, and archives. Because both views read the same array from data.json, adding a real API only means replacing one import.

The Radial Storage Meter

The storage panel renders a RadialBarChart from Recharts inside Shadcn UI's ChartContainer, showing used versus total gigabytes with a centered percentage Label. The fill color comes from var(--color-storage), which is defined through ChartConfig, so the meter follows your palette without touching SVG code.

Below the chart, a per-type breakdown lists documents, images, video, audio, and ZIP archives with counts and sizes, and an Empty component advertises an upgrade slot you can repurpose for plan promotions or storage warnings.

Token-Driven Colors in Both Themes

Apart from one amber accent on the storage chart, the block avoids hardcoded colors entirely. Cards use bg-background surfaces, secondary text uses text-muted-foreground, and icon chips sit on bg-muted, so switching between dark and light class themes requires zero component edits.

Customization therefore happens in globals.css: change the radius token to soften the cards, adjust muted tones to change density perception, or override the sidebar variables to give the file manager its own chrome while the rest of your app keeps the default theme.

Premium Access and Multi-Framework Builds

File Manager Admin Dashboard is a premium block. The preview is open to everyone, while the source files and the one-line shadcn CLI install (shown with npm, pnpm, yarn, and bun tabs at the top of the page) become available once your account carries All Access, which you can compare on the pricing page.

The block is not limited to React either: subscribers get matching implementations written for Vuejs with shadcn-vue components and for Svelte with shadcn-svelte components, so the same file manager can ship in whichever framework your team runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can I see the file manager demo but not its code?
This block sits in the premium tier. The live preview is public, but the code tab and the CLI command unlock only for accounts with an All Access plan.
How does the list versus grid toggle work under the hood?
A single useState value holds the current mode. The table view renders Shadcn UI Table rows, the grid view renders Item cards, and both map over the same files array so the toggle never duplicates data.
What draws the circular storage chart?
A Recharts RadialBarChart wrapped in ChartContainer. The used percentage is computed from two constants, and the bar fill references a CSS variable defined in the ChartConfig, keeping it theme aware.
Can I hook the file actions to real endpoints?
Yes. Download, rename, share link, and delete are plain DropdownMenuItem entries. Attach onSelect handlers that call your API and optionally optimistic-update the files array.
Do I have to know React to use this block?
No. Alongside the React source there are Vuejs and Svelte editions built on the shadcn-vue and shadcn-svelte ports, with the same layout, table, and storage meter.
Is the two-column layout responsive?
Yes. The storage panel sits beside the file list only on xl screens and stacks underneath it on tablets and phones, while the recent files grid collapses from three columns to one.
